Steve Choi spits fax about who is truly the top act in Korea wbk.

First of all did y'all peep who he has as the "complete" groups who excel in ULs and physical sales?

He said NMIXX jumped into the "complete idol" category with Love Me Like This. I'm sure that would shock a TON of people since the narrative AKP is running with is that NMIXX has no digital presence in Korea and must be doing sajaegi.

Secondly check out where the so called unrivalled, unquestioned #1 GG in Korea is ranked on his chart in terms of unique listeners (the x axis) --- FIFTH behind LSRFM, Aespa, Idle and the actual runaway winner, the red dot in the far right of this pic. Anyone wanna take a wild guess who that red dot is?

And here it is, from the Director of Gaon himself.

I always say this, don't call it data analysis if you don't present any data. He didn't even doing the comparison right. He also didn't present how many uls each group get in 30 days and in which platform.

It's all platforms. This guy is the Vice President of Circle. He gets the backend info that public don't get.

The ULS are the X Axis and the Album Sales are the Y Axis - it's all pretty clear to me and the data he presents.

The timeframe for the data ruins any usefulness.

A 30 day cut-off will be impacted by release time massively.

What does unique listeners on a Korean chart have anything to do with sales that are worldwide

At least add Spotify/YouTube/QQ data if you wanna be thorough with the whole “they don’t deserve their sales” narrative

You didn’t answer my question and stated something I can know by looking the video because as it turns out I’m literate.

“What does unique listener which is specific to ONE SINGLE country have anything to do with WORLDWIDE sales number”

If you can’t answer this legitimate question stop wasting my time.

So what do all the lines mean?

This is telling me nothing

mygsbeat · Jul 18th 2023

So for those that are curious, the Y axis represents Gaon sales and the X axis represents Korean ULs.

Nobody cares about sales anymore so the Y axis is fairly irrelevant. Except for nugu groups and groups struggling to break out of course, and for soloists (he called Chaeyeon the breakout star of 2023 and Yena the breakout star of 2022 ) who need to grow fandoms.

The X axis basically shows domestic popularity of the comebacks of 2023, tracking ULs in Korea.

And yes, someone above was right, this dude is the guru of Korean charts, director within Gaon itself. Although i have my beef with their digital point system and think it needs to be overhauled, and though i think Melon Weekly is the best chart in Korea for assessing Korean popularity, Gaon is the highest authority when it comes to objective data collection in Korea.

I just realized something...there are SIX Izone members reflected in his summary. That's effing amazing. That's 75 percent of Izone's 8 members who are musically active in Korea. Only Eunbi and Yuri are left out, and Yuri is about to become the biggest name in Kpop next year when Squid Games 2 hits. My heart is so full right now
